carry at drivers testing station

[Guest m&pc9]

Can you carry at the drivers licence office. When I got my hcp it was posted but last time I was there it was not posted

[Fallguy]

All the ones I have ever been to have been posted.

But they have to post, there is no law that makes them off-limits.

Thanks

I didn't see a correct posting at the one in Coffee County when I was there yesterday to get my motorcycle endorsement. They did have signs everywhere with just the circle and slash, though.

No legal reason to not carry there if it's not posted according to the T.C.A.

Remember though government buildings that had a sign prior to July 1, 2000 "that is in substantial compliance" with 39-17-1359 can keep using the same sign.

I admit I am one of the first to ignore an improper posting, but a state agency may actually be one of the places that would push the issue.

Also molonlabetn don't forget to join the Motorcycle Enthusiast group.

Not to hijack, but you're going to have to spill your guts on what kind of bike you have and/or want.

The Sevierville location is not posted.

There is a large notice on the application paper that carrying in the facility is not allowed. However, there was no metal detector set up, so.....I don't know that a government office is required to post like all the "civilian" places. Anybody got the chapter and verse on that?

The only difference between postings requirments for government and non-government places is the one I mentioned above.

All Government places are NOT automatically off-limits by law.

See 39-17-1359

I just looked over the laws and I can find nothing. The only laws I can find apply to buildings used for recreational use and even then they have to be properly posted.

[mousegunner]

An individual, corporation, business entity or local, state or federal government entity or agent thereof is authorized to prohibit the possession of weapons by any person otherwise authorized by §§ 39-17-1351 — 39-17-1360, at meetings conducted by, or on property owned, operated, or managed or under the control of the individual, corporation, business entity or government entity. Notice of the prohibition shall be posted.

The notice shall be in English but a notice may also be posted in any language used by patrons, customers or persons who frequent the place where weapon possession is prohibited. In addition to the sign, notice may also include the international circle and slash symbolizing the prohibition of the item within the circle. The sign shall be of a size that is plainly visible to the average person entering the building, premises or property and shall contain language substantially similar to the following:
